One is a true self-portrait which was harder to take than it looks. Have you ever tried taking a photo of yourself with your camera, holding it level, then smiling into a MIRROR at the same time--without covering your face with the camera? :) By the way, this is the pocket camera (a Sony Cybershot, 14.1 MP) that I use to take all of my photos. It is possible to take good ones with the little guys... :) One day maybe I'll own a nice digital SLR but for now, it's not in the budget... I'm perfectly happy with this one and carry it everywhere with me. [If anyone has one that works that they no longer use [either giving away or selling very inexpensively], please let me know!]
Lastly are three things I love and enjoy:
Next, are the people and activities I spend most of my time with / on:
- my sweet family--I've been married almost 25 years; two sons ages 22 and 17.
- music-- I play the piano for enjoyment, weddings and other family events and teach at home. I have owned this Baldwin piano since I was 10 years old.
- my other home business --My Ebay / Amazon internet stores keep me on the computer quite a bit but I am thankful for a pleasant home office from which to work (designed by my husband).
Lastly are three things I love and enjoy:
- my 25-year-old Bible with notes and thoughts from my married life and motherhood...things I have studied and learned over the years
- color, the more brilliant the better. This is a Murano glass perfume bottle, a gift from my husband. I love the way it reflects light. I keep it on top of my piano where I can see it often.
- a good cup of coffee, preferably homemade. :) Not a huge fan of Starbucks (too strong, but I do drink it occasionally). Last year I discovered Dunkin Donuts coffee on an airplane flight and LOVE it!
NOTES: I photographed all of these with my little camera (someone else used it to take the family portrait), edited with iPhoto just a bit and "framed" the last two photos using the PicFrame app on my iPod Touch.

Pretty lady!
So nice to see a glimpse into your life. I love the bible with the 25 years of notes!
Thank you both. I love keeping a Bible for a long time. It's almost a record of my life! Not sure if I'll get a new one in May (our 25th anniversary). :)
You have the most beautiful warm smile :)

Love these things that make you you.
And I love love love your bible with all your notes.
I think you're getting great pictures with your camera! The difficult thing is having it with you-which you do. Thanks for sharing.
You are doing just fine with your small camera. V
Great pictures. I love that Bible with notes in it. I have one like that, too.
Thanks for a glimpse into your life. I, for many years had a point and shoot that I took many wonderful pictures with, I love my DSLR, but the portability of the small cameras is priceless!
Nowadays, a point and shoot or even your smartphone camera are more than ideal. I rarely use my DSLR - except for landscape and nature photography. Do you have a smartphone? The editing apps are great.
No, I don't have a smartphone but I have the latest iPod Touch which takes fair pictures. Not as many MP as an iPhone though. Thanks for visiting my blog!
